Carte Magic Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Reyhan enters with three +1/+1 counters on it. Whenever a creature you control dies or is put into the command zone, if it had one or more +1/+1 counters on it, you may put that many +1/+1 counters on target creature. Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.)

How it works : Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If enough -1/-1 counters are put on a creature at the same time to make its toughness 0 or less, the number of +1/+1 counters on it before it got any -1/-1 counters will be used to determine how many counters you put on target creature. For example, if there are three +1/+1 counters on Reyhan and it gets six -1/-1 counters, the target creature gets three +1/+1 counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can only include cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders' combined color identities. If Falthis and Kediss are your commanders, your deck may contain cards with black and/or red in their color identity, but not cards with green, white, or blue.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Both commanders start in the command zone, and the remaining 98 cards (or 58 cards in a Commander Draft game) of your deck are shuffled to become your library.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    To have two commanders, both must have the partner ability as the game begins. Losing the ability during the game doesn't cause either to cease to be your commander.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  5. #5· Wizards of the Coast

    Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won't have to pay an additional {2} the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  6. #6· Wizards of the Coast

    If something refers to your commander while you have two commanders, it refers to one of them of your choice. If you are instructed to perform an action on your commander (e.g. put it from the command zone into your hand due to Command Beacon), you choose one of your commanders at the time the effect happens.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  7. #7· Wizards of the Coast

    An effect that checks whether you control your commander is satisfied if you control one or both of your two commanders.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  8. #8· Wizards of the Coast

    You can choose two commanders with partner that are the same color or colors. In Commander Draft, you can even choose two of the same commander with partner if you drafted them. If you do this, make sure you keep the number of times you've cast each from the command zone clear for "commander tax" purposes.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
